Summer Fashion Faux Pas Men Should Avoid

Summer is on its way. It is the season of vacation where you can sport bare minimum clothing if you dare to flaunt it. But men will be men!

In the garb of comfortable wear and loose fittings, they leave a room full of mistakes. From baggy cargos to barely-covering-your-feet flip-flops, they do it all. Well, until today! With the help of this list, you now know what shouldn’t be worn this summer. Read on...

1) Sweat Pants

It’s sweaty, hangs low on hips and not to forget, absolutely hideous! You shouldn’t need more reasons to stay away from this crime-to-mankind piece of clothing. Sweat Pants should strictly be used while you are jogging or in the confines of your room or maybe when you venture out of your home to the nearby store in case of an emergency. Besides that, you can leave these pants in some corner of your wardrobe.

Try- cotton or linen dhoti pants. That solves all your purpose.

2) Sagging Capris

Remember cargo pants, with huge pockets that bow at sides causing the shorts to sag? Yes, that. Avoid them. They dip below your knees, are shapeless and can make you look unflattering. We don’t care how hot it gets; they will surely not make you any cooler.

Try- shorts that tapers linearly and end an inch above your knees. Use khaki or linen shorts with just enough number of pockets.

3) Flip-Flops

Let’s face it; flip-flop is beachwear. Strolling casually on roads, or in malls or theatres wearing flip-flops will do you no good. It’s barely there covering your feet and you’ll end up getting a tan. Moreover, if you don’t have a habit of trimming your toe nails, it can also make for an ugly site. Save yourself the misery!

Try- wearing loafers instead. They are in trend and look stylish. Do not forget to trim your nails too!

4) Ill-Fitted Clothes

Unless you are a hip-hop artist, wearing loose clothes are a strict no-no! It looks sloppy and can make people remember you as the-one-who-wears-his-dad’s-clothes. Besides, it can drive the girls away too.

Try a little experimentation with mix-and-matching various styles of different cuts. You’ll surely be able to assess your body type.

5) Body Odour

There is no bigger turn-off than a man who sweats like a pig and does nothing to keep that in check. While sweating after a workout can be great, doing so at a romantic date or in the office, not so much!
